Kakashi, Asuma and Raidou were trapped between a wall and a line of enemies. Lying around them were dead bodies, some enemies but most team members including their team captain. Raidou was severely hurt, Kakashi was starting to feel the chakura depletion that had hit jitsus ago and Asuma hadn't feeling so great since that senbon hit him on their way here.

"We can't do this! I don't want to go out like this!" Raidou cried. "There's so much I haven't done in my life yet! I'm too young! I'm just a desk person! Please don't let them kill me!"

At that moment Kakashi knew it was bad. Raidou never cried like this when things got bad. He always remained the levelheaded, professional he was. He was bleeding everywhere though and Kakashi knew if he didn't get him away his fate would be the same as their partners. Kakashi reached into his pocket and felt the kunai Minato gave him. It hit him there that he could save Raidou and Asuma.

"Asuma, take my kunai. Throw it as far as you can. Then help Rai with the hand signs for the teleportation jitsu that Minato-sensei taught him. You twp cam get home. Home where they can save Rai before he becomes like everyone else." Kakashi ordered thrusting the kunai in his hands.

"I can't go without you. It's not fair!" Asuma said.

"Asuma, as acting team leader I want you to do as I say. If it will save you two I will be happy. You have to much at home to die here, so go."

"We can't leave you."

"Someone has to complete this mission. I will not be like my father. Yes comrades mean more that anything but this mission must be successful. That's why so many of us were sent. Now go. These last few years of my life have been great. You two are the best friends a guy could ask for. Go on and live your lives well. It's been an honor serving with you."

"Goodbye."

"Never goodbye, its more see you one day."

Tears started to fall from Asuma's eyes as he took his and Raidou's dogtags off. He secured them around Kakashi's neck.

"What are these for?" Kakashi asked.

"At least if you're going to send us away a piece of us can be with you." Asuma said.

With one last look of upset to Kakashi Asuma threw the kunai as far as he could. Raidou performed the jitsu and they disappeared in a flash. Kakashi closed his eyes as soon as they were gone and drew the remaining chakura he had. If he was going to go out he would go out with a fight to the end. The final moments of his life were in a battlefield, surrounded by dead bodies, beside an already dead Yaamto. But what was expected? There never was going to be a way out. No, there was no-way out.
